HELP NEED HWH PART !!!!!

I am trying to locate a new or used HWH synchronizing cylinder for my drivers side slideout. Here is the history of the part changes that HWH has made, any of these will work.

synchronizing cylinder AP12484 Original part
replaced by RAP90474
replaced by RAP12484
newest HWH parts RAP 48733, RAP93246 hardware kit

I have the newest one on order from HWH, with no ETA

I checked the following places with no luck.
Visone
Stuarts
Colaw

I have a 2004 Mandalay 40D, if anyone knows where a salvage Mandalay may be located let me know.

Also any other salvage yards would be great.

Thanks

    I have talked to 1 local shop on the rebuild and they said that some of the HWH are crimped on the end and they cannot rebuild.

    Does anyone know of a shop that will do the rebuild ?

    I checked back with Visone, and talked to Bucky this morning.
    Although there were 5 2004 Mandalay's shown on their website, the pics were taken when they arrived at their yard, which has been many years back.
    The part I needed was either not available or had already been taken off the wrecked RV's.
    But it was worth a call back.
  • That bunch must have plenty of money or to lazy to look for a part they can't make a fortune on.

    Before Bucky would send someone out to look I had to email him pictures of the part, dimensions of the cylinder, part number, and my RV info.
    But I wonder if they just looked for my model 40D and said nope we don't have one.

    I will check with them again.
  • I believe that they show five 2004 Mandalay's in stock so I agree they should have the part that you need. They probably don't do their inventory by specific part number but if you ask for the HWH sync cylinder they may be able to help.

    I emailed them last week and gave them the part numbers.
    They said they did not have any of the parts.

    But looking at the Mandalay's they have I would think there must be a match on one of them.

    I call call them again.
